  • Drilling Geomechanics Salt Creep Monitoring
    Publication number: 20190227192
    Abstract: A method for monitoring salt creep while drilling includes obtaining data representing a subterranean domain, the subterranean domain comprising a salt layer, obtaining an initial model of salt creep for a well penetrating the salt layer, generating a second model of salt creep by revising the initial model while drilling the well based on measurements collected in the well, and determining one or more revised drilling parameters using the second model while drilling the well.
